This paper summarizes Professor LIU Fengbin's clinical experience in treating autoimmune liver disease (AILD) using the method of nourishing yin and removing stasis based on stage differentiation. He believes that the pathogenesis of AILD generally involves both deficiency in essence and excess in manifestation, with essence deficiency often presenting as liver and kidney yin deficiency, which may progress to spleen deficiency and yang deficiency over time. The excess manifestation commonly includes qi stagnation, blood stasis, damp-heat, and phlegm toxicity. Clinically, he advocates for the treatment principle of nourishing yin and removing stasis. On the foundation of nourishing liver and kidney yin, different pathological factors causing stasis are eliminated according to their nature. Treatment is also tailored to different stages of AILD. In the early and asymptomatic stages, liver qi stagnation and spleen deficiency are prominent, warranting a therapeutic approach of soothing the liver, regulating qi and strengthening the spleen. The modified Chaishao Qizhi Decoction (柴芍气滞汤) is used. During the symptomatic stage, pathogenic factors become more pronounced, often accompanied by a significant deficiency of vital qi, with damp-heat, water retention, and phlegm toxicity as key pathological features. The treatment should focus on strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness, using modified Sijunzi Decoction (四君子汤) combined with Yinchen Wuling Powder (茵陈五苓散). In the liver function decompensation stage, vital qi is severely deficient while pathogenic factors persist, with damp-heat, phlegm toxicity, and blood stasis obstructing the liver collaterals. Treatment should focus on nourishing blood, softening the liver, strengthening the spleen, and resolving stasis, using the modified Ruangan Yangxue Decoction (软肝养血汤). Throughout the treatment process, emphasis is placed on tonifying the liver and kidneys while protecting yin fluids.

BACKGROUND:Cannabidiol is effective in ameliorating the body's inflammatory response,but no clear mechanistic studies have been conducted to ameliorate skeletal muscle inflammation induced by exhaustive exercise. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism by which cannabidiol improves skeletal muscle inflammation during exhaustive exercise by using transcriptome sequencing technology. METHODS:Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups:blank control group,exercise coconut oil group,exercise control group,50 mg/kg cannabidiol group,60 mg/kg cannabidiol group,and 70 mg/kg cannabidiol group,with six rats in each group.Except for rats in the blank control group,rats in each group were subjected to swimming exercise for 9 days to produce the exhaustive exercise model.At the end of each swimming exercise,rats in the cannabidiol groups were given 2 mL of fat-soluble cannabidiol at different concentrations(50,60,and 70 mg/kg)by gavage;rats in the exercise coconut oil group were given the same volume of coconut oil by gavage until the end of the exercise on the 9th day;and rats in the blank control group and the exercise control group were not given any special treatment.The levels of inflammatory factors and differentially expressed genes in the skeletal muscle of rats in each group were determined using ELISA and transcriptome sequencing techniques.Differentially expressed genes obtained were subjected to KEGG analysis,and the accuracy of the sequencing data was verified by fluorescence quantitative PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results of ELISA showed that the contents of interleukin-6(P<0.05),tumor necrosis factor-α(P<0.01),interleukin-10 and other inflammatory factors in the exercise group increased significantly compared with the blank control group and the coconut oil group.After cannabidiol intervention,the mass concentrations of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α showed a sequential decrease with increasing cannabidiol concentration.By comparing GO and KEGG databases,the functional properties of differentially expressed genes were analyzed,and the results showed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway and the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway.RT-qPCR results showed that the trends of five randomly selected differentially expressed genes were in agreement with the transcriptome sequencing results.To conclude,cannabidiol can improve skeletal muscle inflammation caused by exhaustive exercise.

Enamel demineralization, the formation of white spot lesions, is a common issue in clinical orthodontic treatment. The appearance of white spot lesions not only affects the texture and health of dental hard tissues but also impacts the health and aesthetics of teeth after orthodontic treatment. The prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of white spot lesions that occur throughout the orthodontic treatment process involve multiple dental specialties. This expert consensus will focus on providing guiding opinions on the management and prevention of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment, advocating for proactive prevention, early detection, timely treatment, scientific follow-up, and multidisciplinary management of white spot lesions throughout the orthodontic process, thereby maintaining the dental health of patients during orthodontic treatment.

Objective: For patients with elevated hematocrit (Hct), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) apheresis is prone to red blood cell contamination—commonly referred to as “flushing” or erythrocyte carryover—which compromises product quality and therapeutic efficacy. This study reports two clinicaly derived measures to mitigate this issue. Methods: For 21 patients with Hct ≥53%, intravenous 0.9% sodium chloride infusion before apheresis process (replacement method, n=13) or 0.9% sodium chloride fluids hemodilution within the centrifuge bowl during PRP apheresis process (dilution method, n=8) were given, respectively. The collection time, adverse reactions, and the celluar composition of PRP—including white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelet counts—were recorded and compared. Results: Neither method resulted in visible RBC contamination (“flushing”). The red blood cell counts [(0.021±0.014)×10
/L vs (0.019±0.011)×10
/L, P>0.05], white blood cell counts [(2.258±3.288) ×10
/L vs (0.557 5±1.203) ×10
/L, P>0.05], and platelet counts [(1 140±308.2)×10
/L vs (1 105±309.9)×10
/L, P>0.05] in the PRP products obtained by two methods all met the control standards of PRP. There was no significant difference [(2.268±0.927) vs (2.438±0.762) mL/min, P=0.669 2] between the two methods in terms of the speed of PRP collection. One case of adverse reaction occurred with the fluid replacement method, while no adverse reaction occurred with the dilution method. Conclusion: For patients with elevated Hct, both fluid replacement and dilution methods can effectively prevent RBC contamination during PRP collection, yielding products that meet clinical quality standards.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the expression of long chain non coding ribonucleic acid (LncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (LncRNA SNHG1) and microRNA (miR)-143-3p in nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) tissue and clinical pathological features and prognosis.Methods:A prospective selection was made from 97 HSCC patients admitted to the Handan Central Hospital from March 2016 to March 2018. Surgical resection of HSCC tissue and normal mucosa tissue adjacent to cancer were taken, and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of LncRNA SNHG1 and miR-143-3p. The patient′s survival status was followed up after leaving the hospital. We compared the differences in the expression of LncRNA SNlHG1 and miR-143-3p in HSCC tissues with different clinical pathological parameters, analyzed the correlation between LncRNA SNHG1 and miR-143-3p expression, and the relationship between LncRNA SNHG1 and miR-143-3p expression and the prognosis of HSCC patients.Results:The expression of LncRNA SNHG1 in HSCC tissue was higher than that in normal mucosa tissue adjacent to cancer ( P<0.05), and the expression of miR-143-3p was lower than that in normal mucosa tissue adjacent to cancer ( P<0.05). The expression of LncRNA SNHG1 in cancer tissues of HSCC patients with tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage Ⅲ, low to medium differentiation, and lymph node metastasis was higher than that of HSCC patients with TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, high differentiation, and no lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05), and the expression of miR-143-3p was lower than that of HSCC patients with TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, high differentiation, and no lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05). The expression of LncRNA SNHG1 in HSCC tissues is negatively correlated with the expression of miR-143-3p ( r=-0.522, P<0.05). The 5-year cumulative survival rate of HSCC patients with high expression of LncRNA SNHG1 was lower than that of HSCC patients with low expression of LncRNA SNHG1 ( P<0.05), and the 5-year cumulative survival rate of HSCC patients with low expression of miR-143-3p was lower than that of HSCC patients with high expression of miR-143-3p ( P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that TNM stage Ⅲ and high expression of LncRNA SNHG1 were risk factors for poor prognosis in HSCC patients (all P<0.05), while high expression of miR-143-3p was a protective factor ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression of LncRNA SNHG1 is upregulated and miR-143-3p is downregulated in HSCC tissues, with a negative correlation between the two, which is related to the malignant pathological characteristics and poor prognosis of HSCC.
